Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

I though they were good in the O2.

Which flag do you reckon Bruce will wave around during 'The Trooper': the Union Flag or the Red Hand Northern Ireland flag?

Whatever flag the promoters give them. There's no shortage of flegs round Belfast in the summer months!

 

[Black Bart]

Well done that tuneless bellowing audience member who actually manages to drown out Bruce.

He sounds like a caveman with a cold.

 

[Kalata]

It seems that Adrian is not going to use the red X-Stroyer guitar But hey, at least he uses the fantastic white V...

 

[matic22]

Another one.

 

[GhostofCain]

Another one.

Hilarious the reference from Bruce to the English as 'les rosbifs'

The songs Willcock claims to have written are Prowler, Charlotte the Harlot, Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden and Prodigal Son which were released by the group on their first two records 1980-81.

Wilson-Slesser says he co-wrote lyrics to a 1974 song called A Rainbow's Gold lifted by Maiden for their 1982 anthem Hallowed Be Thy Name.

BAH GAWD THAT'S WRATHCHILD'S MUSIC

ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

One thing I'll say about this tour that I would change/add, is a curtain before Aces High. I think the Spitfire on stage in view before the band come on ruins the surprise. I know Maiden have never done it, but I think a curtain drop as the band start playing could be effective.

That was my exact thought, it would have been especially effective on the first night when no knew what was coming and it would have amplified the shock factor.

Although perhaps they didn't do it because there isn't sufficient space to fit a gap for the Spitfire behind the lighting rig, currently it's underneath/just behind and you couldn't curtain it without obstructing the lights

I'd say it has worked perfectly on all indoor shows. But I can see your point when it comes to gigs outdoors, especially when it's still light outside.

The Spitfire is even in the game:

Janick fucks up TETMD solo mildly again and looks at H at the end with the typical "Don't hurt me pls" look.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I'd love a really great explanation of why Maiden allows Janick to play solos that aren't his. They do plenty of material that has his solos. There's no need for him to play and ruin classic solos like that.

 

[Diesel 11]

I think Janick should keep doing what he's doing because I for one like it.

Are you saying you like solos being messed up? Or what is it that you do like about Janick playing solos that aren't his?

 

[Mosh]

Yea, I really don’t see the appeal of Janick sloppily half assing a solo. It doesn’t even have to be a replication of the original, but he’s clearly not putting any effort in.

 

[Diesel 11]

I think I already mentioned that solos don't sound as good live anyway, and I think it always gives the song a different feel the way he plays.

Yeah, but that feel is painful lately

 

[Gk1]

I get that we love Maiden...but enjoying the fact that Janick screws up classic solos is just too much

 

[Diesel 11]

Maiden solos are only the icing on the cake. The only solos I would want replicated exactly are ATG and Powerslave.

 

[matic22]

Well, I got used to Janick's HBTN solo now. I like it.

But his takes on SOTC, Revelations and especially FTGGOG have been abysmal this year.

Favourite solo of his in the set? Clansman by far.
